Inside the High-Stakes Comeback: Carter Hart and Hockey Canada Defendants’ Untold Journey to the NHL
With five members of Canada’s 2018 world junior hockey team acquitted of all charges of sexual assault on Thursday, the stage could be set for some to return to professional hockey and potentially the NHL.
Justice Maria Carroccia told the London, Ontario, courtroom that she did not find the evidence provided by the complainant, who was referred to as “E.M.” because of a publication ban, to be “credible or reliable” while delivering a not-guilty verdict on two charges against Michael McLeod and one each against Carter Hart, Dillon Dubé, Alex Formenton and Cal Foote. Those players were accused of sexually assaulting “E.M.” in a London hotel room following a Hockey Canada gala event in June 2018.
